For my favorite item from this shop, I'm going to have to choose this gorgeous necklace. I'm in love with the look of this. It looks really classy but you can dress this down as well. It looks really well made. I love how well the crystal beads and metal beads go so well together. To be honest I would have never paired those two different types of beads together, but surprisgly I really like them together.

Tribal look, very pretty"
